Well, although recent blog entries have not reflected it, things have been hoppin' here at the studio. We have recently signed a really exciting contract with 'Strika Entertainment' based in Cape Town, South Africa to provide all the audio production for the new animated series
Supa Strikas.
I had the chance to pop down to Cape Town at the end of April to visit with Oliver and Bruce and to finalize the production schedule (photos to follow.. they were taken on a (gasp) FILM CAMERA!).
To accomodate the Supa Strika (13 X 22 Episodes, with some animation being done by our good friends at
FatKat Animation), we are building three new sound rooms...
This used to be our Foosball room...
... but it is now 'en-route' to becoming an audio editing suite.
I have also, unfortunately, lost my office as our building is suddenly too small for our requirements. Here is where I USED to work...
...Annalee spent an afternoon in it while the floor in her office was being redone last week...
...and it now looks like this (and soon will become Olaf's composition room and a new edite suite, and a VO booth).
In any case, in addition to Supa Strikas, business has been so busy that we have hired a new Commercial Production Engineer, Paul Bell, who started with us on May 31st! It is going to be awesome to have another engineer here. For now, whe have put him to work in MY OLD OFFICE...
